Oh Well...

Friday evening, I created a blog in the range of the blog titles DCCI had used in the past few days. The idea was to see how many people were still frothing at the mouth to hear more of the stuff he was spewing before.

That experiment was blown. Someone with strong Google Fu blew it for me.

The results are pretty inconclusive with such a short span of time and no chance for it to go viral, but the page had 100 hits in about 20 hours. The most important period would have been over the business day on Monday. After about 9pm EST, I planned to put up the final numbers and either proclaim happiness over a low number of hits (doubtful) or point and laugh at all the people salivating to hear more trashy gossip that doesn't really concern them.

That blog has been deleted as no one will fall for the trick now. Oh well...it was worth a try.

UPDATE: And No More Developing Stories For Him, Either...

1st & 2nd blogs are both gone. Which is GOOD NEWS!

Update: Removed the links to the previous blogs as a comment suggested. Giving printscreens of the blogs.


As you can see, someone picked up the initial blog address and posted their commentary on the whole thing. The second one was quite forcibly removed by Google, it appears. One can be fairly certain this was due to pressure from a legal team Wrangling Blogger into pulling it down.

Update 2: You should really take a look at Valerie D'Orazio's take on the insider.

UPDATE: Well, I Guess I Don't Have A Developing Story Now

From the blog of DC Comics Insider, he reveals a scandal that he came to me with, but didn't run because I wanted to reach out to JG Jones first to get his thoughts.

DCCI has good intentions in putting this out (i.e. to defend JG), but I was concerned about any pain that might have been caused for Mr. Jones by this becoming public knowledge.

Having heard this story from several sources long before, I always felt for JG. But I believe that the person has long been his ex now and, while it is possible that it can still effect him now, it's not likely and even less probable that revealing this will help him at all.

Update: DCCI has sent the following out to an undisclosed group of bloggers (including myself):

Good afternoon.

I suppose you'd like to know who is next?

Well, later this week, we have dirt on Mike Carlin (a bunch of it,
that may concern more than one of you, his fiance, and of course to
DC's HR department!), Joan Hilty, Ivan Cohen, Bob Schreck, and several
others. I'll be naming specific people. We might even examine why very
few people ever get fired from DC. I'll address the lost of some key
editors .... and continue my list of editors who need to leave for how
their lack of moral character has ruined DC Comics.

In the meantime, I'm off to look at the next batch of DC Direct figures!

I'll be referring to him as DCCI, but I somehow get the feeling he'll be labeled DC_b0y.
